    Pollinators: First global risk index for species declines and effects on humanity 16 August 2021 ecosystems, including many that humans and other animals rely on for nutrition. If they go, we may be in serious trouble." Dicks assembled a 20-strong team of scientists and indigenous representatives to attempt an initial evaluation of the drivers and risks for pollinator declines worldwide. The research is published today in Nature Ecology & Evolution. The top three global causes of pollinator loss are habitat destruction, followed by land management—primarily the grazing, fertilizers and crop monoculture of farming—and then widespread pesticide use, according to the study. The effect of Credit: CC0 Public Domain climate change comes in at number four, although data are limited. Perhaps the biggest direct risk to humans across all Disappearing habitats and use of pesticides are regions is "crop pollination deficit": falls in quantity driving the loss of pollinator species around the and quality of food and biofuel crops. Experts world, posing a threat to "ecosystem services" that ranked the risk of crop yield "instability" as serious provide food and wellbeing to many or high across two-thirds of the planet—from Africa millions—particularly in the Global South—as well asto Latin America—where many rely directly on billions of dollars in crop productivity. pollinated crops through small-holder farming.

  • Riparian Buffer Restoration
    Pennsylvania Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual Chapter 6 BMP 6.7.1: Riparian Buffer Restoration A riparian buffer is a permanent area of trees and shrubs located adjacent to streams, lakes, ponds, and wetlands. Riparian forests are the most beneficial type of buffer for they provide ecological and water quality benefits. Restoration of this ecologically sensitive habitat is a responsive action to past activities that may have eliminated any vegetation. Key Design Elements Potential Applications Residential: Yes Commercial: Yes Ultra Urban: Yes Industrial: Yes Retrofit: Yes Highway/Road: Limited · Reestablish buffer areas along perennial, intermittent, and ephemeral streams · Plant native, diverse tree and shrub vegetation Stormwater Functions · Buffer width is dependant on project preferred function (water quality, habitat creation, etc.) · Minimum recommended buffer width is 35’ from top of stream Volume Reduction: Medium bank, with 100’ preferred. Recharge: Medium · Create a short-term maintenance and long-term maintenance Peak Rate Control: Low/Med. plan Water Quality: Med./High · Mature forest as a vegetative target · Clear, well-marked boundary Water Quality Functions TSS: 65% TP: 50% NO3: 50% 363-0300-002 / December 30, 2006 Page 191 of 257 Pennsylvania Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual Chapter 6 Description The USDA Forest Service estimates that over one-third of the rivers and streams in Pennsylvania have had their riparian areas degraded or altered. This fact is sobering when one considers the important stormwater functions that riparian buffers provide. The non-structural BMP, Riparian Forest Buffer Protection, addresses the importance of protecting the three-zone system of existing riparian buffers. The values of riparian buffers – economic, environmental, recreational, aesthetic, etc.

  • IP Owner's Q & A, Sorted X Subject
    Sorted by Subject Island Packet Owner's Q & A Report on Tenders Barnacle Rings On Avon Inflatable From: Clark Chalifour Received: 3/12/2002 11:55:18 AM Last season, I left my Avon inflatable in the water too long and ended up with many barnacles on its bottom. I removed the barnacles with a black Scotch pad (the type used on grills), but rings from the barnacles remain. I am hesitant to use products intended for removing barnacle rings from fiberglass hulls on a fabric inflatable. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions with respect to removing such rings from an inflatable? Clark Chalifour WINDHOVER IP-27-198 From: Don Berger Received: 3/12/2002 1:17:11 PM WM sells dilute hydrochloric acid under some obvious brand name I can't recall just now and it is advertized as safe. More important, I've used it and it works great. Hypalon and PVC are both impervious to HCL; my only reservation had been to keep it away from the seams (which isn't that difficult) as I am not sure how it would affect the glue. Don From: Sherri & Glen Wells Received: 3/13/2002 7:33:35 AM You probably won't like my method but it works. Deflate the dinghy and roll the PVC or Hapalon with your fingers as to fracture and dislodge the rings. Sometimes a plastic scraper used for snow removal can assist. I also grew a healthy crop. After this tedious effort of Cirripedia removal a priorety was established. Get the dink out of the water! Captain Glenn Lady Ann IP-32 #120 From: Al Sandman Received: 3/13/2002 8:03:43 AM Just try using liquid bleach, I have used it for years, it seems to work better than any other product I tried.

  • Riparian Buffers for Agricultural Land Mike Dosskey, National Agroforestry Center; Dick Schultz and Tom Isenhart, Iowa State University, Department of Forestry
    Riparian—2 Agroforestry Notes USDA Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Station • USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service January, 1997 Riparian Buffers for Agricultural Land Mike Dosskey, National Agroforestry Center; Dick Schultz and Tom Isenhart, Iowa State University, Department of Forestry Purpose • Define what a riparian buffer is • Describe what benefits a riparian buffer can provide in an agricultural landscape • Identify situations where installing a riparian buffer should be considered Definition A riparian buffer is land next to streams, lakes, and wetlands that is managed for perennial vegetation (grass, shrubs, and/or trees) to enhance and protect aquatic resources from adverse impacts of agricultural practices. Benefits for • Stabilize eroding banks Aquatic Problem: Eroding and collapsing banks can remove valuable agricultural land, Resources particularly if unchecked for many years. Soil from bank erosion becomes sediment in the waterway which damages aquatic habitat; degrades drinking water quality; and fills wetlands, lakes, and reservoirs. Benefit from a buffer: Plant stems absorb the erosive force of flowing water and wave action, while roots hold soil in place. Effectiveness: Potentially good on small streams and lakes; poor or ineffective on large unstable streams where bank erosion is severe and rapid. Figure 1 — Benefits that a riparian buffer can provide. National Agroforestry Center 1 • Filter sediment from agricultural land runoff Problem: Sediment in the waterway damages aquatic habitat; degrades drinking water quality; and fills wetlands, lakes, and reservoirs. Benefit from a buffer: Plant stems slow and disperse flow of surface runoff, and promote settling of sediment. Roots stabilize the trapped sediment and hold riparian soil in place. Effectiveness: Potentially good, especially for filtering larger-sized sediment such as sand, soil aggregates, and crop residue.
